Yes, my thoughts are with the fire fighters, they are definately a brave bunch of men & women, my hat goes off to them. The smoke here hasn;t been as bad as it looks at mums, but enough to set my smoke alarm off in the early hours of the morning.We had no loss of power here in Mooroopna, but cant turn on the evap cooling, as it just draws and fills the house with smoke.And I have to agree with you, how silly was it to have the Grand Opening of the "Market Place" with no opening of shops, "ONLY IN SHEPPARTON" .. lmao.. but we did go out, sat at the overlander, had a few drinks and watched the fireworks along with the rest of Shepparton !!!

Take care my friend, and I think I might try that recipe out, but gotta restock the "Brandy" after mums last visit!!!!

Hello Merle:-) My prayers are with all those firefighters...may they stay safe and manage to control all those terrible fires. I too got tricked with the Crown Royal Cookies recipe!! lol Loved all the jokes and quotes:-) I wrapped presents most of the day today...I'd forgotten what a job that is!! Take care my friend xoxo

Those fire fighters deserve all the accolades we can give them. We are keeping warm here, despite several of the coldest days of the season. My MIL's power did go off but ours has remained constant. ec

Dearest Merle- sorry to hear you power went out- that would have been very hot for you. Love the stories and jokes as usual- the royal cookies one sounds like me and hubby Christmas day-lol. Thank you for the update on Granny Ann (post below)- sad news indeed.My prayers are that you all get some rain for these fires.Much lovexx
